Duct tape

Or maybe get a spool of heavy-duty nylon thread and sew it together using the big holes in the strap and finding some other area in the helmet to attach to.

+1 If your head is valued enough to wear one, and obviously is, it's worthy of a replacement.

Check manufacturer's website. Contact them. Maybe it's under warranty. Maybe they'll send you a replacement part for free, or cheap money. Or a completely new helmet since this one broke without your head in it.

I replaced a Giro Atmos retention system that broke on me. I ordered it online with extra pads and I was good to go. Look online you might find something if you feel your helmet is worth it.

I would worry that parts are getting too brittle if one broke that easily.
I vote for replacing the entire helmet.

It's dead Jim.

Seriously, contact the maker for new part if possible or buy a new helmet.
